By Joseph Iyaji | Akahi News
Fresh controversy has erupted after CCTV footage allegedly showed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) conducting a late-night raid at Brains and Hammers Estate in Life Camp, Abuja.
Akahi News learnt that the incident, which took place on 15 September 2025, has raised serious concerns about the legitimacy and legality of the operation.
CCTV Footage Reveals Raid and Camera Damage
According to residents, the suspected EFCC operatives arrived under the cover of darkness and were captured on the estate’s surveillance cameras. However, the footage reportedly shows the individuals destroying the security camera shortly after realising they were being recorded.
Public Reactions and Concerns
The video has since circulated widely online, sparking public debate about whether the operation was officially sanctioned or if due process was followed.
Observers noted that the EFCC has faced previous criticisms over the conduct of certain raids, with calls for increased transparency and accountability in its operations.
As of the time of filing this report, the EFCC has not issued an official statement regarding the alleged raid or the destruction of the security camera.
Awaiting Clarification
Legal experts and human rights advocates have urged the anti-graft agency to clarify the circumstances surrounding the September 15 operation to maintain public trust and avoid further speculation.
